Intelligence

Intelligence will be integral to the modern, adaptable PC experience. Intel will bring AI to PCs by delivering tools, silicon and resources to the developer community; It will collaborate with OEMs to package the AI capabilities into new devices.

ASUS showcased a new concept PC called Project Precog. It is a convertible dual-screen notebook equipped with intelligent features for versatility and productivity. It also showed off a new ZenBook Pro, which allows developers to take advantage of the low-power Intel Movidius VPU to create AI-centric features for both existing and new applications.

I started making and selling beige boxes (PCs) in the early 80s. In reality, there has just been an evolution of Moore’s Law. Computers get faster, cheaper, smaller and better but they largely do the same thing.

Intel is right to call OEMs to task. It is time to develop new hardware and harness AI. Intel is very close to some wonderful new designs.
